Carmen met her husband of 60 years, Lucas, in Duncan, AZ where it was love at first sight. They were married in 1938, and in February of 1965 they relocated to Prescott, AZ and made it their home. Carmen was a hard-working mother and wife having worked various jobs in Prescott until she became a care-taker for Lucas. She enjoyed gardening and being outdoors well into her nineties. She especially enjoyed the many family gatherings at her home where she was always ready to cook for everyone and anyone. People were always welcome in her home where she spent her time watching Diamondbacks baseball and countless Sun Devil football games. She will be missed and lovingly remembered by all.
